It really was beautiful, especially the figures on the east and west pediments. Until you go there you really have no idea how huge this building really was, it didn't seem near so large when I was studying it for Humanities!

So here we are on our second day out, thrilled to have this kind of opportunity, and looking forward to the days ahead.
